Van Veen grab sampler
The Van Veen grab is used for sampling sediments from the sea and lake bottom. The amount of sediment is dependent on the type and compactness of the sediment. The sampling is performed using a winch and a digital length counter of the metal cable. The length of the cable is 150 m. The winch and the grab are mounted on a boat using a wooden board.
